Wordpress admin is really good
Posted on | April 29, 2009 | No Comments
Wordpress 2.7 admin is really quite easy to use. Wordpress has come a long way, thats for sure. With some many widgets and plugins available, the challenge is working out what should be used rather than just what could be used. So far I am loving adding and building and creating, i just wish i had a little more time to play and develop a little more content. That will happen!
Oh, and I loved all the iPhone adverts on channel 10 tonight. Apps are a billion dollar business….well soon will be considering over 1 bn apps have been downloaded. Thats a serious new market that Apple have been able to create and capitalise on. Good value for customers as well. Maybe the new questions is not “will you have fries with that?” but rather “will you have apps with that?”

Good keynotes this morning regaring social media sites. With reps from LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace, Bebo and Friendster. Interesting to hear them share some views on what will work and what might not over the next while. What i liked was the way that LinkedIn seems to be the only platform at the moment with a diversified revenue model.

>0.00% Google Analytics Interesting Results
Posted on | March 4, 2009 | 1 Comment
Google analytics is a pretty nice package. However, i have heard some interesting stats being returned when you look to push it to the limits. This is not a post about that, rather an interesting result that was displayed interestingly! See for yourself, one thought i just had is that it is a rounding error… that might explain it, either way, i’d like to see an = sign instead.
Google Analytics >0.00%

Shark attack in Bondi
Posted on | February 13, 2009 | No Comments
Did anyone see the A-league advertising over Jan? Interesting to see life is now imitating art. On the back of the 339 clovelly bus, on the way back from a swim, we photographed the following advert:
What is interesting is that in the last two days in Sydney, there have been two shark attacks; one in the harbour, where a navy /police diver has since lost his hand and one where a surfer in bondi has been bitten on the hand. Two in two days….
Maybe the guys in advertising are telling the truth (for once) and we should all go watch some soccer….
Twitter Jobs
Posted on | February 10, 2009 | No Comments
Twitter is exploding and would no doubt be an excellent place to work right now. Heck, they might not have a business model part totally cracked, just yet, however, they are looking to hire and have some interesting roles.
The one that looks most interesting in my opinion is the Business Dev role. Clearly Twitter has a mandate to make some cash off the rapidly growing audience and are looking for some help in executing on this.
Anyone going to apply?

Top SASS applications…. that i have seen.
1: CRM – Sugar / Salesforce
2: Accounting – Sassu
3: Blogging – wordpress
Sure that there are others.
What is SASS – Software as a Service (SaaS, typically pronounced ’sass’) is a model of software deployment where an application is licensed for use as a service provided to customers on demand.

Vic Bushfires
Posted on | February 9, 2009 | No Comments
Victoria has been hit by some of the worst bushfires in Australian history. The impact of the fires will be both financially and emotionally significant for years to come. Current loss of life stands at around 100 with more expected. What surprises me is that the fires seemed to move so quickly. It causes me to ask why the people could not or did not get away.
Some friends have set up a website to help – http://www.au-bushfires.com/.
The CFA is also on Twitter – http://twitter.com/cfa_updates – what a great use of technology to provide meaningful assitance and updates.
Microsoft office 2008

Anyone else use this product? Takes a little getting used to, however, now that i am getting the swing of it, it is really starting to be a good product. Yes it is Microsoft, yes it has those issues. That said, I am enjoying it at the moment and can recommend it . The price was a bit expensive, thats the down side. That said, I did struggle to buy the full version, everywhere I went, retail shops, either only stocked the education version or told me just to buy the education version. Not sure that is the point of the education version….
Best plugins on the net
Posted on | January 27, 2009 | No Comments
Webstites are fast become an easy to create medium through which people can express, create and operate. Plugins loom large as the next big evolution as now users can easily adapt and tweak their systems and websites to do and be exactly what they require. I personally love all the wordpress plugins and use several.
Currently I am looking for some more options for our corporate SugarCRM setup to enable some better staff management.
